Drink of the Week: Pine-Orange Mimosa

This cocktail is light and fizzy and oh-so-delish. Make this sparkling gem of a cocktail by filling half a champagne flute with chilled Champagne then top it with Pineapple-Orange Juice.

For the virgin version, use Sparkling Grape Juice instead of Champagne.

Pull up a chair, because Nicki Minaj may just be joining the judges' table over at "American Idol"!

The colorful female emcee, 29, is reportedly already set to be the latest addition to Fox's hit singing competition show, a source tells Us Weekly.

"I'm not sure the deal is completely done yet, but yes, she is definitely doing it," the source told Us. "A few more things to sign off on but it is happening."

Another source told the magazine that Minaj is "100% confirmed to judge 'American Idol.'"

(Rumors: Four judges will be in the latest season of American Idol and Randy Jackson will act as a mentor instead of a judge.

American Idol is trying to fix deals with Coca-Cola as their latest judge, Nicki Minaj, is a Pepsi Cola endorser. It is also to be noted that a couple years past, Mariah Carey was also a Pepsi Cola endorser. 

Enrique Iglesias is rumored to be the top choice to fill the next spot but Mariah is campaigning on Twitter for her friend, Lenny Kravitz, to get the seat in the judging table.)
